The Official #9 Tennessee @ #8 Ohio State Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ABC/ESPN

[WiseOlVol]

We didn’t belong

Disagree.

Several teams in the 12 we could beat at Neyland.

 

[KTrain]

This is pitch and catch then we will push you out of bounds.

 

[C-south]

It is embedded in this thread. Nearly 1/3 of the lost seems to be whining about the refs.

This one isn’t on the refs.

 

[NOLAPhil]

Who are these 3rd stringers in on dline? Heupel better admit this is absolutely embarassing

 

[Voltopia]

So what? How do supposed ut fans take such joy in ut losing and other fans being wrong? The gloating about a ut loss is one of the dumbest things that happens on this board. I'll never understand the enjoyment in it

They feel emabarassed that they support Tennessee, and they're taking the loss personally, so they have to make sure everyone knows how unacceptable they find it. Tennessee just can't likve up to their exacting standards.

 

[Doberman]

We gotta pay for it

So pay it.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Yep. That is the reality. I said it a couple of weeks ago. Huepel is an 8-10 wins a season coach. That's what recruiting top 15 gets you each season, high class mediocrity.

10 wins? 10nwins in the SEC will get you a chance at the playoffs.
So who would you get as a coach?

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

I hope Fowler gets frostbite

 

[87&91ALUM]

Can we just get on the bus and go home?

 

[Carl Pickens]

We are the same weak ass team as Indiana and SMU

 

[Caz]

We’ll get ‘em next time

 

[orangerush]

We amassed most of our stats against four cupcake teams, we should schedule more cupcakes

 

[CAVPUT]

Until the tournament

Ouch. That hurts but it's true.

 

[BallinVol]

I used to enjoy TN football

I did too ... when I was 14

 

[djwes]

They are gonna score there anyway why burn the time out?

 

[TheFlash1971]

We lost almost all of our young guys. Just Staley and Matthews left.

Play them what the heck we have to lose. But whatever just get drubbed 65-10

 

[DD4ME]

 

[Vols919]

SEC chants, as they look to get their 2nd win over the conference in over a decade.

 

[508mikey]

See you next week, drunk!

Where in the gutter ?

 

[ButchPlz]

Disagree.

Several teams in the 12 we could beat at Neyland.

Playing like this, I'm calling ********.

 

[teeball]

Hopefully Heupel is aware that there is a lot of work to do.

Unless Heupel accepts that he is going to have to fire some of his buddies to improve his coaching staff Tennessee will always be a bridesmaid.

 

[utvolpj]

The Jackson guy trolling all week on Facebook set us up for a butt kicking. It's called bulletin board fodder.

Yeah I'm sure it was the Facebook posts

Vol Twitter with the stupid Neyland north, plant the flag, throw the goalposts in the river... I'm more annoyed at the fans than the team. Haven't won anything in over 20 years yet no one talks more crap than we do.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

If you think a 10 win season and making the playoffs is mediocrity then you're a complete moron who is ignoring the past 15yrs. It's an idiotic take

I said "high class" mediocrity. Which means we'll win a lot of games. Just not a lot of games that matter. Tonight's game mattered the most and we folded like a cheap tent. It comes down to players and the reality is this staff is not consistently recruiting at an elite enough level to compete with a team like OSU.

 

[MiddleVol76]

McCoy is getting exposed tonight. Geez.
